My Adwords Ads aren't displaying...

    None of my Ads are displaying on Adwords for some reason. I'm only trying to run two campaigns right now, one that I've had for several weeks and another I created on Sunday night. I had the old one paused over the weekend and resumed it on Sunday with the new one.

    I've tried pausing and resuming again. I've verified I'm not over budget on them and my keywords aren't inactive. I'm sitting at around $35 in charges. I've tried the ad dianostic tool and it says "You have no ads that match the search term" on many different keywords even though I copied and pasted from my list and even typed in a few. Made sure they were displaying in the right countries and ad scheduling was turned off.

    I sent an email to google last night and haven't received a response yet. Any idea? (Please help me, I can't take Adcenter's slowness any more!! :D )

    hmmm... i think i know what happen. You have to go to edit your setting for the campaign and set it to accerated mode instead of standard mode. Check it couples of hours later and you will see it.

    Nope, already changed that. Plus it had already been 2 days since I started having problems. Thanks for the idea though. :)

    I started 2 more campaigns and my ads still aren't showing . I went so far to make my one of my ads this:

    !!!!! Please help, my ads
    aren't displaying and there's been
    no response to my email
    www.google.com/adwords

    And had to request an exception... it says that ad is Active :confused: Kinda funny in a way. Makes me think I could request an exception for anything.

    Do you set your ad to show in your country(Geo-targetting).
    Also, you might also take note that Google Adwords does not show real-time stat.

    There is another point I myself is not sure about. Is every ad needed to be approved be the google staff. Maybe it take some time for the staff to go thru your ad and manually approved. I'm not quite sure abt it.

    And don't you worry, note... I'm only Peon stat and is like you just starting Google Adwords(last friday to be precise) and I face alot of problem too. This is why I started participating actively in the forum. We are all here to learn aren't we : ))). Do read alot from both good ebooks and forum, you will learn alot. A final tip for you, do keep your CTR high(this is what i learn) or else you will end up like me and screw everything up = >

    You have to be patient. Last week I waited 6 days for a Google answer but when it came it was a helpful one, so just be patient and they will reply...
